>record low snowpack in the rockiesFire season is gonna fucking blow this year. Fuck wildlandtards, forestry chads where the fuck we at? How are you planning to deal with having half your jobsites burn down?
>>2861249How is less snow in the winter cause fires in the summer?
>>2861253Ground is dry, plants are dry, detritus is dry. Small fuels don't decay when they're dried out leading to higher loading of the forest floor and an easier start for fires.
>>2861255But it dries up by the end of the summer anyway.
>>2861255Eh the firefighters would find a way to light it on fire dry or no
>>2861257Explain what you mean
>>2861260Its extremely common for firefighters to set firesEspecially wildland guys >they know how>they get paid to come deal with it after>they love fire
>>2861249I'm constantly amazed by Schrodinger's wildfire from the snowpack. Either the snowpack is too plentiful and it causes an abundance of growth which leads to wildfires. Or it's too dry which causes less growth which leads to wildfires. Which is it???
>>2861265That's just early summer vs late summer blazes.
>>2861249>more fires>more OT>no tax on OTQuite simple really
>>2861256Would you rather have everything be on fire for 5 months or 9 months?Would you rather have fuels build up for 2 months or 5 months?
>>2861265>antecedent conditions matter>too plentiful and it causes an abundance of growth which leads to wildfiresthat doesnt lead to wildfires it just makes them more intense when they do start as there is more to burn but wet antecedent conditions can put off fire season>too drythat means the soil/fuel moisture will is low and can lead to an earlier fire season>will anyone fall down the vapor pressure defecit rabbit hole?
